Keep South Carolina Wild
March 20, 2024
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Spring Soiree Fundraiser on March 2nd to celebrate our state’s many contributions to World Wildlife Day. We were delighted to see old friends from programs and events such as the Midlands Master Naturalists, Palmetto Pro Birder, POWR, and WAIT programs, and also make new ones! All funds raised will support SCWF’s conservation, advocacy, restoration and education programs. Thank you for helping us increase our impact in 2024!

We highlighted several signature species including the Spotted salamander, Venus flytrap, loggerhead sea turtle, prothonotary warbler, monarch butterfly, shortnose sturgeon, and bottlenose dolphin.
We enjoyed delicious food by Scott Hall & Paella South with bartending by Twist.
From wildlife art to handcrafted nesting boxes to outdoor adventure experiences, our raffle had something for everyone!
We are especially grateful to all of our event sponsors & WAIT Partners for helping us increase our impact for South Carolina’s wildlife.
